Special-k- I do realize the value in the rarity of the vehicle being the top of the line vehicle for its year. Which is why I'm posing this question. I appreciate all avenues of car restoration. I think I originally went into it thinking I'd go and update everything to newer technology- fuel injection and disc brakes but due to the background of the car it's making me question that thought process. I also have a 78 c20 which is completely original (besides the used front seat I picked up last year) with over 205k miles and it still moves down the round pretty good. I appreciate and respect everyone's opinion though.

Bigbird05- I actually thought of doing that and just tossing in a crate 350 engine and calling it a day.

88stanger- I agree. Great place to gather multiple different opinions and be able to make a better educated decision with said info. Your short bed LS is actually exactly what I'd do if I had no idea what the SPID said or was a basic c10 no options truck. PS the 66 sounds like a fun project also.

Bubbasimms- thanks for the advice. There are multiple ways to burn a gallon of gas. Might as well enjoy it.
